NEWS FROM WHS ROOM 11

English classes are beginning new “reads:”  9th graders are starting TEARS OF A TIGER, a young adult novel written by award-winning Sharon Draper, a former Cincinnati school teacher.  The story of how a young man becomes consumed by a tragic experience with his friends will offer us insight into how we need to communicate with and share our despair with parents, teachers, and friends in time of deep stress.  Students will then research mental health agencies and how they can help as well.
10th graders are reading OF MICE AND MEN by John Steinbeck, learning more about the personal side of the Great Depression, while studying imagery and character development.  Pre-reading allowed for research into various aspects of life and work opportunities during the 1930’s as itinerant workers.  Through frequent writing we continue to prepare for the OGT, which will be coming up in mid-March.

OLIVE GARDEN PENNIES FOR PASTA DRIVE FOR LEUKEMIA/LYMPHOMA DRIVE IN FEBRUARY

Once again WHS Student Council will be sponsoring this drive to raise awareness and donations for Leukemia/Lymphoma.  4th period classes will compete to win the Olive Garden lunch.  WHS Cheerleaders will solicit donations at a few games with their DANCE FOR A CHANCE hip-hop routine.  As we dedicate ourselves to this cause, we want to remind everyone to keep positive thoughts for 2010 graduate Stephen “Goose” Gossard as he undergoes treatment for lymphoma in Columbus.

WRITING CENTER TUTORS ARE TOPS!!

Congratulations to the Writing Center Tutors -- Andrea Ames, Kaitlyn Boggs, Jamie Crane, Maggie Dowe, Leighanne Dyer, Molly Gossard, Faith Hawk, Ciera Philpott, Andrew Valiquette, and Lindsey Young -- who recently concluded the second nine weeks with a whopping 266 conferences! 

These ten dedicated writers have helped high school students improve their writing skills by asking questions, offering suggestions, and discussing key areas for revision. The tutors set up shop inside the WHS Media Center and they are available for conferencing all periods of the school day.  Students may drop in during a study hall, sign up for a spot during Extra Time/Extra Help, OR plan a time before or after school (just give us a 24 hour advance notice if requesting these special times). 

I am SO PROUD of these tutors; they have been especially eager to help our high school students with all types of writing -- from research papers to scholarship essays!

SPRING MUSICAL CAST AND CREW ANNOUNCED!

After a few days of cabin fever, W.H.S. Drama is thrilled to announce the cast and crew of the 2011 Spring Musical, ZOMBIE PROM!  Check out the W.H.S. Drama website to see the cast/crew list, and stay tuned to GNF for more information about how you can support the show!

SEWING BEE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

To avoid the extreme expense of renting costumes this year, W.H.S. Drama is looking for volunteers to help at our SEWING BEE on Saturday, February 19, from 9:00AM-5:00PM.  We’ll convert Room 12 into a costume shop to create the girls’ costumes for the show, which mostly involve poodle skirts and 1950’s-style prom dresses.

Whether Martha Stewart has you on speed dial or your best work is with duct tape, we have a job for YOU!  To help us prepare, go to the W.H.S. Drama website to fill out  and send back the “Sewing Bee RSVP.”  This form will help us know when you’re coming, what your skill level is, and if you have any equipment of your own (machines, scissors, etc.) you can bring to use.  We’ll have fabric, patterns, tools and supplies, electricity, and lunch ready for the day!

If you have questions or would like more information, please take a look at the Sewing Bee RSVP or contact director Jason Hamen at jhamen@wayne-local.com or 513-897-2776x4012.

Please pass this message on to other sewing buddies who might be able to help!  This is an unusual event in the W.H.S. Drama calendar, but we’re looking forward to a fun day and appreciate your help!

W.H.S. Drama Director

WHAT IS NEW IN MIDDLE SCHOOL ART?

Sixth graders are building-bears with lines, more affordable than the traditional build-a-bear.  This project allows students the flexibility to design their bear yet learn to draw without outlines.  One of the best parts of this project is their bears are unique!

Middle School Mixed Media classes are making ceramic goblets.  We will finish these with jewels and other decorations.  Did you know a part of making 3D objects applies real-world physics principles?  Imagine the faces of those who have designs that are good but when it comes to standing freely, they won’t work.  Clay is forgiving but only to a point.

Seventh grade traveled to the Cincinnati Art Museum to see “Heavy Metals”, a display of Medieval armor.  We also toured other highlights of the museum.  This trip would not have been possible without the cooperation of our fabulous parent chaperones.  Taking 114 students downtown Cincinnati is quite a logistical feat.

Spring Art Club will be forming in February.  This is a great opportunity for students who cannot fit art into their schedules to come to the art room and make their own creations.  Sixth graders meet on Tuesdays and seventh and eighth graders meet on Wednesday and Thursday.  The cost is $5.00 which goes entirely to buying supplies.  If a student does not like to work with clay, they may choose other media.  The possibilities are unlimited.

Watch for the district-wide Art Show this spring.  Waynesville students will have an opportunity to showcase their school year’s hard work!

WCESC PARENT SURVEY
The Warren County Educational Service Center is participating in a federal grant from the Department of Education called The Integration of Schools and Mental Health Services. The goals of this grant include assessing mental health service needs for students in Warren County, and finding ways to address those needs.

Please take a few minutes to complete a brief parent survey that can be accessed by clicking on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YQ6RTJD  . The results of this survey will help identify gaps in mental health services for students, and to identify mental health topics parents are interested in. Thank you for your time!

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY TIP

Some parents advise their child to run across the roadway so that they get across faster. Please never advise your child to run.  The safest way to cross the roadway is for your child to always watch the driver for the safe signal to cross.  When the signal is given, your child should walk in an orderly fashion across the roadway.

BCI AND FBI BACKGROUND CHECKS
All volunteers and coaches must have BCI and FBI background results on file at Wayne Local Schools.  The FBI background check must be redone every 5 years.  As long as you continuously live in Ohio the BCI background check will not have to be redone after the initial submission. The Superintendent’s Office has the capability to process these checks.  The Superintendent’s Office or building offices can tell you what results we currently have on file.

The Superintendent’s office will be open to do fingerprinting on TUESDAYS from 9:00 – 2:30. 
The cost for this service is:  $25 – BCI     $35 – FBI    $55 – Both

Warren County Combined Health Dist. Newsletter – Dec. 2010

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Carbon Monoxide is called the “silent killer”.  It is difficult to detect, as it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.  Because you can’t see, taste or smell it, carbon monoxide can kill you before you even know it is there.  With the winter season upon us, experts are warning residents to get their furnaces inspected by a professional.  The most common reason for carbon monoxide poisoning from household furnaces is lack of maintenance.  Any fuel burning appliance, vehicle, tool or other device has the potential to produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas.  Examples of carbon monoxide producing devices commonly in use in or around your home include fuel fired furnaces (non electric), gas water heaters, fireplaces and wood stoves, gas stoves, gas dryers, charcoal grills, lawnmowers, snow blowers and other yard equipment (non electric), and automobiles.  There are carbon monoxide detectors available that are easy to install in your home.  Most plug right into an electric outlet or use batteries.  A detector will warn you in an event that there is a carbon monoxide leak in your home.  Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

• Flu-like symptoms
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Weakness or clumsiness
• Blurry vision
• Fatigue
• Loss of consciousness

If you have a carbon monoxide detector and the alarm goes off remember the following:
-Treat all alarms as the real thing.
-Leave the house immediately.
-Leave the door open on the way out.
-Call the fire department from a neighbor’s house.
-Get medical help.
-Do not return to the house until inspected by a professional.
